For departure from, or while within, the territory of Indonesia, airlines shall be required to observe aviation security provisions in conformity with the law in force in that country. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that adéquate security measures are effectively applied within its territory to protect the aircraft and to inspect passengers, crew, carry-on items, baggage, cargo and aircraft stores prior to and during boarding or loading; and that those measures are adjusted to meet any increased threat to the security of civil aviation. Each Contracting Party agréés that security provisions required by the other Contracting Party for departure from and while within the territory of that other Contracting Party must be observed. Each Contracting Party shall also act favourably upon any request from the other Contracting Party for reasonable spécial security measures to meet a par- ticular threat. 6.
